Black Myth: The Legend of Tianpeng Seeking Demons

"Brother Xiao Xiao is so good at teasing people." Shangguan Yue said gently, her voice tinged with reproach but also with a hint of shyness. She lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, concealing the panic and embarrassment in her eyes.

Zhu Xiaoxiao looked at the beauty before him, secretly pleased with himself. He deliberately moved closer to her, so close they could almost feel each other's breath. He smiled and said, "I'm not teasing you, I'm serious. Could it be... Miss Shangguan has absolutely no feelings for me?"

Shangguan Yue's heart raced under his intense gaze, and her cheeks flushed crimson, as alluring as a ripe apple.

She instinctively wanted to push Zhu Xiaoxiao away, but her slightly trembling hand hesitated, as if she was reluctant to leave.

"Brother Xiao Xiao...please don't be like this..." she whispered, her voice barely audible.

Seeing her so shy and charming, Zhu Xiaoxiao felt even more affection for her. He gently reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, his fingertips lightly touching her delicate earlobe, feeling her slight tremor.

Shangguan Yue couldn't help but shrink her shoulders slightly, as if this small touch had stirred up ripples in her heart.

“Moon,” Zhu Xiaoxiao’s voice softened, with a hint of doting, “Don’t be afraid, I just want to… be closer to you.”

His gentle fingers glided across her cheek, caressing her smooth, porcelain-like skin. Shangguan Yue slowly closed her eyes, her heart pounding like a drum, as if awaiting a destined emotional outburst.

"Moon, you are so beautiful." Zhu Xiaoxiao's voice was slightly hoarse, as if the emotions buried deep in her heart were finally overflowing. "Ever since I met you, I have been deeply attracted to you."

Shangguan Yue slowly opened her eyes, looking at the handsome man before her, a strange sweetness welled up in her heart. She knew that she had gradually been conquered by the man before her.

"Brother Xiao Xiao..." she murmured softly, about to say something, when Zhu Xiao Xiao gently kissed her lips.

At first, she was somewhat resistant, but Zhu Xiaoxiao's gentle and passionate kisses quickly melted away her defenses.

She closed her eyes and slowly responded to his kiss, her hands involuntarily wrapping around his back, as if trying to merge herself into his embrace.

As night deepened, the bright moonlight, like a silver veil, spilled into Shangguan Yue's courtyard, casting a hazy glow over the garden.

The two strolled side by side along the garden path, the surrounding flowers and trees appearing exceptionally beautiful under the moonlight, and a faint fragrance permeating the air.

"Brother Xiao Xiao, your poetry is truly amazing," Shangguan Yue said softly, nestled beside him, her tone filled with admiration and a hint of subtle affection.

Zhu Xiaoxiao's lips curled up, and she smiled smugly: "It's just a trivial skill, how can it compare to Miss Shangguan's talent?"

"Brother Xiao Xiao is too modest," Shangguan Yue said softly, a smile on her face. "Your poem just now was profound and left a lasting impression."

The two strolled to the pavilion, surrounded by blooming flowers of various colors, their fragrance intoxicating. Shangguan Yue gently invited him to sit down, picking up a wine pot, "Brother Xiao Xiao, this peach blossom wine is homemade, please try it."

Zhu Xiaoxiao took the wine glass, first gently inhaling the aroma of the wine, and then brought the glass to her lips, taking a small sip.

In an instant, a sweet taste blossomed on the tip of the tongue, like the fragrance of peach blossoms in spring, intoxicating the senses.

He couldn't help but exclaim, "What wonderful wine! This is simply a rare delicacy!"

Hearing his praise, Shangguan Yue, sitting opposite him, couldn't help but chuckle. She elegantly raised her wine glass and gently clinked it against Zhu Xiaoxiao's. She slightly raised her beautiful eyes and said affectionately, "To you, Brother Xiaoxiao, I'm so glad to have you with me tonight."

Looking into her clear and captivating eyes, as calm as autumn water, Zhu Xiaoxiao felt a sudden tremor in her heart, and an indescribable emotion welled up within her.

He subconsciously reached out and tightly grasped Shangguan Yue's soft, boneless hand, his gaze deep and full of affection as he said, "Yue'er, it has always been my honor to be by your side."

Shangguan Yue blushed at his sudden action. She lowered her head shyly and asked in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "Brother Xiao Xiao, what...what did you just call me?"

“Moon,” Zhu Xiaoxiao said with a smile, gently calling the name again, “calling you that… will feel more intimate.”

Shangguan Yue's heart pounded like a deer, her face flushed, and she whispered, "Then... you can call me Yue'er from now on."

The two exchanged a smile, the atmosphere growing increasingly ambiguous. Although Zhu Xiaoxiao's thoughts were stirred by the gentle night, he did not forget his mission.

He subtly steered the conversation toward Shangguan Yue's family business, slowly probing, "Yue'er, I've heard that your aunt's business is very large. How much do you know about it?"

Shangguan Yue hesitated for a moment, then frowned slightly: "These are family secrets, I can't just say them."

Zhu Xiaoxiao sensed her wariness, gently held her hand, and reassured her, "I understand, don't misunderstand, I was just asking casually."

He used his supernatural powers to sense Shangguan Yue's inner emotions and realized that she was already somewhat tired of the constraints imposed by her family and longed for freedom and love deep down.

In order to gain her more trust, he decided to win her over with sincerity rather than with empty platitudes.

"Moon, I actually envy you a lot," Zhu Xiaoxiao whispered.

"Envy me? What do I have to envy about me?" Shangguan Yue was slightly taken aback.

"You come from a prestigious family, are beautiful and talented, and are the goddess in the hearts of many." Zhu Xiaoxiao smiled lightly, "while I am just an unknown nobody."

“Brother Xiao Xiao, please don’t say that…” Shangguan Yue held his hand tightly, her eyes filled with sincerity and tenderness. “I… admire you very much.”

Zhu Xiaoxiao moved closer to her and asked in a low voice, "Yue'er, are you willing to believe me?"

Looking into his deep eyes and sensing the sincerity in his words, Shangguan Yue couldn't help but nod: "I...I'm willing."

Zhu Xiaoxiao could no longer control herself and lowered her head to kiss her lips. Shangguan Yue no longer resisted and responded passionately, the two deeply immersed in this intense emotion.

Shangguan Yue was completely melted by Zhu Xiaoxiao's passion. When she felt his hot lips pressing against hers, she closed her eyes, tilted her head slightly, and responded to the increasingly affectionate kiss.

Their bodies pressed tightly together, as if they had found their only support in each other's embrace, and the emotions in their hearts burned like wildfire at that moment.

The silvery moonlight, like a veil, gently enveloped them, making this tranquil night dreamy and romantic.

The air was filled with the fragrance of flowers, and the distant chirping of nightingales seemed to bless them, creating a gentle and tender atmosphere.

However, in this romantic moment, Zhu Xiaoxiao's heart was filled with complex emotions.

He wanted to complete his mission, yet he couldn't bear to hurt Shangguan Yue. The conflict between his emotions and his sense of responsibility plunged him into a deep contradiction and struggle. He sighed softly.
